31.08.2017

Chairman of the DPR People’s Council, Permanent Representative of the DPR to the negotiations of the Contact group in Minsk Denis Pushilin took part in the programme “Informally” on the “Oplot” TV channel. During the broadcast, the plenipotentiary representative told about the results of the Contact group’s recent meeting.

“Now the problem of the Donbass has been given very close attention. This was preceded by a series of negotiations in the “Normandy format”, there was a direct meeting between the US and Russian special representatives. Probably, all these processes are due to attempts by the American party to somehow resolve the conflict, naturally with the maximum benefit for themselves.

At the talks in Minsk, our party is constantly proposing compromise solutions, but the Ukrainian government cannot make independent decisions. Moreover, the absence of a concrete position hinders the whole negotiating process.

It is worth noting that Poroshenko’s statements sound especially ridiculous as to the fact that he managed to force in the issue of concluding another truce, but in fact, this topic was raised by the OSCE Special Representative Martin Sajdik,” Denis Pushilin stressed.
